As I understand it, the successful launch and distribution of "Popular Politics" are driving the Kremlin riffraff absolutely crazy.
Apparently, in response, the Nashi activists (members of the pro-Kremlin youth movement) are putting up these magnificent posters all over Moscow:
Two rifles for killing moose (where did they even get those prices? The most expensive rifle they have costs 124,000 rubles).
A list of all the cars I’ve owned in my life (plus some I’ve never owned).
And the crown jewel of the Kremlin’s creative output: an apartment hidden from voters worth $750 million. Please enter me into the record book as the owner of the most expensive apartment in Russia.
Or else Volodin the dacha owner and his underlings ought to be entered into the record book for sheer idiocy. Because we’re talking about an apartment (73 sq. m / about 785 sq. ft.) in a prefabricated high-rise in the Olympic Village, where my wife Yulia—who was born in Moscow and has lived there all her life—has been officially registered since 1990. Her parents have lived in that apartment for 24 years and still do. It belongs to them. And yet, apparently, it turns out it could be sold for $750 million. My mother-in-law will be thrilled.
